Cowboy In A Continental Suit chords by Chris LeDoux

Verse 1
(G major) (D major) (G major) He walked out in the arena
all (D major) dressed up (G major) to the brim
Said he just came down
from a (D major) place called Highland Rim
And he (G major) said he came to ride the horse,
the (C major) one they call the (G major) brute
But he didn't look like a cowboy
in a (D major) continental suit (G major)
We snickered at the way he dressed,
but he (D major) never said a (G major) word
Walked on by the rest of us
as (D major) if he hadn't heard
A (G major) thousand bucks went to the man
who could (C major) ride this wild cail (G major) louse
A meaner horse was never born
than the (D major) one they call the (G major) brute
The horse that he was looking for
was in chute number eight
Walked up there,
he slowly put his (D major) hand upon the gate
We (G major) knew he was a purebred
when he (C major) pulled a sack of (G major) dukes
From the inside pocket
of his (D major) continental suit (G major)
He rolled himself a quirley
and he (D major) let it stand in (G major) there
Blew himself a smoke ring
and he (D major) watched it disappear
We (G major) thought he must be crazy
as he (C major) opened up the (G major) gate
Standing just inside
was 1 ,500 (D major) pounds of (G major) heat (A flat major)
The buckskin tried to run him down
but the (E flat major) stranger was too (A flat major) quick
He stepped aside and threw his arms
around (E flat major) the horse's neck
And he (A flat major) pulled himself upon the back
of the (D flat major) horse they called the (A flat major) brute
Sitting like he was born there
in his (E flat major) con tinental suit (A flat major)
The brute chimed in, was in the air,
his (E flat major) front end on the (A flat major) ground
Kickin' and a -squealin',
tryin' to (E flat major) shake the stranger down
But the (A flat major) stranger wouldn't give an itch,
he (D flat major) came to ride the (A flat major) brute
He came to ride that buckskin
in his (E flat major) con tinental suit (A flat major)
I turned around to look at Jim,
but (E flat major) he was watchin' (A flat major) me
Said, I don't believe
the crazy thing (E flat major) s I think I see
But I (A flat major) think I see the outlaw,
the (C sharp major) one they call The (A flat major) Brute
Ridden by a cowboy in a
(E flat major) con tinental suit (A flat major) (G major)
The Brute came to a standstill,
ashamed that (D major) he'd been (G major) robed
By some city cowboy
in some (D major) continental clothes
The (G major) stranger took his money
and we (C major) don't know where he (G major) went
We don't know where he came from,
and we (D major) haven't seen him (G major) since
The moral of this story,
never judge (D major) by what they (G major) wear
Underneath some ragged clothes
could (D major) be a millionaire
So (G major) everybody listen,
don't be (C major) fooled by this ga (G major) loot
Sure enough, bronc rider
in his (D major) continental suit (G major) (D major) (G major) you
